Guided tours 

We offer guided tours through the Vulkaneum for groups of children and adults. The maximum group size is 20 people due to our premises. With a larger number of people, the group is divided and two or more tours are offered. A tour usually lasts one hour and is only possible with advance booking.

Guided tours (public) 

In addition, we offer a public tour every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m. The public tours through the Vulkaneum last approximately one hour and are aimed specifically at interested individuals, families and small groups who want to get to know the exhibition better and get a deeper insight into the volcanic region, Vogelsberg and our exhibits. This tour costs € 2.00 per person plus the admission price (adults € 10.00, reduced € 8.00 and families € 24.00). The maximum group size is 20 people. It is not possible to pre-register for this.
 

Guided tours (school classes)

Please note that school classes cannot visit the exhibition independently and that a guided tour with registration is required. For school classes we offer guided tours (including admission) for € 5.00 per child. The minimum fee is € 75.00 (= 15 children). One group consists of a maximum of 20 people. For larger groups, the group is divided and a second tour is offered in parallel. Two teachers / supervisors per group have free entry and each group must be accompanied by at least one teacher. Unfortunately, it is not possible to go through the exhibition individually after the tour ends. At the end of the tour, the exhibition area is left together.
